Complete video collection on

‘Rewired’
Out September 13th on Rhino Records
New York, NY- On September 13th, Rhino Records will release the 3 CD
career-spanning ‘Genesis Platinum Collection’ and ‘Genesis
Video Show’ as well as a new album and a hits collection from
the side project Mike + The Mechanics. ‘Genesis Platinum Collection’
is the first and only retrospective to cover both Peter Gabriel and
Phil Collins eras. The four hours of music on three CDS is the most
comprehensive collection to date featuring everything from earlier Gabriel-era
favorites like “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” to Top 40
hits like “Hold On My Heart” and Billboard Top 10 chart
smashes “Invisible Touch”. “Follow You Follow Me”
and “Counting Out Time” are a few of the 24 newly remixed
tracks. Favorites “I Can’t Dace”,
“Tonight Tonight Tonight” and “Turn It On Again”
round out the set. A twenty page booklet with liner notes by Hugh Fielder
accompany the discs. Founded in the late ’60s in Surrey, England,
Genesis rose out of the ashes of earlier bands formed by schoolmates
Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford, and Anthony Phillips
(who departed after 1969’s Trespass, the album providing the final
track on this stellar retrospective). Guitarist Steve Hackett soon signed
on, as did drummer/vocalist Phil Collins, who’d later emerge (as
would Gabriel) as a solo superstar. Following Gabriel’s 1975 departure,
Genesis grew from a progressive art-rock outfit into one of the biggest
arena rock acts ever, with a long string of platinum-sellers and chart
smashes. Additionally, all of the Genesis promo videos will be released
for the first time on DVD with ‘Genesis Video Show’. The
digitally remastered videos include MTV staples “Land of Confusion”,
“Invisible Touch”, and “I Can’t Dance”
as well as the 1999 version of “Carpet Crawlers” featuring
Gabriel. Rare BBC footage of “Paperlate” is also included.
